Timodine cream has been beneficial

Have now been applying Timodine cream for three weeks - two weeks three times a day, then the past week twice a day, washing with warm water (no soap) before application. I intend to use only one application per day for a fourth week, then risk nothing! So far I can report that after seven days the itch was gone, and after two weeks fissures had healed. I am revelling in feeling normal for a while, but realize that the problem will probably return. I think that my particular anal itch/soreness/fissures is caused by heat and sweating, but this cream certainly works for me and I shall cast embarassment aside to get more from my doctor.

Hi. I have the same problem you have. Timodine makes the symptoms to disappear. Nothing else seems to help. Several doctors checked me and cannot find the cause of my anal itching which has been going on for 5 years now.

I think my problem has something to do with my faeces because for a while I was taking psyllium fiber husks and the things improved a bit. I think the way the fiber works is by binding the faeces together reducing the contact with faeces residuals with the skin.

Is there anything else you did that worked for you? I am concerned about the long term side effects of timodine.
